CCP LAUNCHES ONLINE CHANNEL
The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) launched last month CCP Channel, an online streaming platform featuring new online productions and curated archival documentation from the CCP Digital Archives.
CCP Channel provides artists with viable platforms for new developments in online performances and gives viewers a unique learning experience that will help them appreciate and learn more about Philippine art and culture.
Spanning across Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo, the art and culture channel offers audiences of all ages a wide variety of timely and curated online content that will be offered to them over the year. The curation of content will focus on the educational, inspirational and beneficial themes that contribute to the social and mental well-being of the viewers.
Expect high-definition video coverage of selected CCP productions, made-for-video performances, selected archival video documentation from the archives, and video selection showcasing curated and specific themes.
It has several main channel sections—CCP Channel From The Archives, CCP Channel Themed Showcases, CCP Channel HD Premieres and CCP Arthouse Cinema Online.
Specially selected production documentations from the CCP Digital Archives will be premiered under CCP Channel Curated Features, offering viewers a unique opportunity to look into the CCP’s rich history of artistic performance. Aiming to be supplemental to art education and vital for art appreciation, CCP Themed showcases will break through in CCP Channel Vimeo, featuring curated production documentations from the CCP Digital Archives.
Online premieres
CCP Channel HD Premieres, meanwhile, is a section dedicated to the CCP’s newest productions, which will premiere online for the audiences. Artistic excellence takes the helm as new and experimental ways of performance are explored in this new platform.
CCP Arthouse Cinema Online is housed in CCP Channel Vimeo, with monthly themed screenings of local and international films. Members of the CCP Film Society have access to exclusive screenings and early access to the selected films.
For March, CCP Channel launched Cultural Exchange Showcase, showcasing digital productions featuring the hardworking artists from the CCP’s cultural networks.
In celebration of National Women’s Month, a themed showcase will be available on CCP Channel Vimeo, exploring the themes and concepts tied to women and honoring the women artists.
A platform for artists, CCP Channel will also put a spotlight on the geniuses of the Philippine national artists. CCP Channel will also be hosting the CCP’s upcoming online festivals.
In the coming months, audiences can expect well-curated thematic screenings of the best of the CCP.
